The Warriors and Lakers are two of the most popular teams in the NBA, but is either team a valuable bet to win the title?
Stephen Curry finally returned to the court this week after being sidelined for 11 games with an injury, but Golden State fell to Blake Griffin and company in Detroit. Still, the Warriors are only one game out of first place in the West but have started slow relative to previous seasons and only rank fifth in our power rankings. Golden State was expected to dominate before the season, and oddsmakers are still expecting them to bounce back as they’re still the heavy favorites to win the NBA Finals.
